Ramaphosa: It's easy to blame the president for load shedding, but...
President Cyril Ramaphosa has assured South Africans that he is confident that issues at Eskom, which has been rolling out load shedding due to power plant breakdowns, will be resolved.
The Cabinet had announced it had devised a five-point plan to deal with the electricity crisis, which the “war room” had to implement. “I met someone who was a manager at Eskom who said they were stopped from maintaining for 12 years. The power stations were driven hard, and the instruction was to keep the lights on. No wonder today, we’re reaping the whirlwind because a number of errors were committed,” he said.
In addition, when the decision was finally taken to build new power stations, the experienced Eskom staffers had left after they were told that none would be built, he added.
